Mrs Quins Charity Shop Says Thank You! Running or walking once again this years WOMEN'S MINI MARATHON was another huge success. Ladies and indeed some (hairy looking ladies) from all corners of the country came together to make this a great day for all the charities so dependent on the donations raised by the participants and their supporters. As always Mrs Quins Rathfarnham Village had its merry bunch of volunteers doing their bit for the Blind and Visually impaired of Ireland and we would like to take this opportunity to thank most sincerely all the supporters of our Ladies who worked so hard to raise funds for our charity.
